The place to hang out and chill. All streets lead down to the water. Everyone in town heads here in the cool of the evening to walk, talk, sit and chow down. Nice handicrafts and breathtaking view of the lit up Wat.

Huay Pu Keng Karenni Village

Reviewed By mskimmyy - Santa Clara, United States

Beautiful village and people. I was so shocked when I saw people taking pictures of them without asking - it was really uncomfortable and almost creepy. I left the village feeling very sad. Unfortunately these people are being exploited for tourism. They are refugees in Thailand and this is the only way for them to make a living. Do your research before going and please be respectful! I can’t imagine trying to make myself lunch and a bunch of tourists come into my house and take pictures of me. Some people are happy to get their pictures taken, all you need to do is ask. This village is not a human zoo for your entertainment. Please respect their space and their culture. Have genuine curiosity and appreciation. If you want to support them, buy their handmade crafts.
